Wipro Update on Chennai Operations
Bangalore, India and East Brunswick, New Jersey, USA - December 16, 2015- Wipro Limited
(NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting
and business process services company today provided a business update on its Chennai
Operations.
The recent heavy rainfall and resultant flooding impacted the regular business operations of
Wipros Chennai facilities during the first week of December. Business continuity plans were
invoked for the work being done from our facilities to ensure there was no disruption in the
business-critical operations of our customers
Wipro has multiple facilities in Chennai with over 22,000 employees. Wipro has been focused on
ensuring the safety of its employees and their families and has rolled out multiple employee
support initiatives to mitigate their hardship during this period. Wipro deeply appreciates the
efforts of its employees in Chennai for their tremendous enthusiasm and dedication to honour
customer commitments in a very challenging environment.
Wipro Cares, the community initiatives arm of Wipro has partnered with multiple social
organizations to provide immediate relief efforts in Chennai through the supply of food grains,
clothing, primary healthcare and medicines to flood-affected communities. Wipro will continue to
monitor the situation and review the need for further support to relief operations.
Wipro has largely seen the restoration of normal operations in Chennai facilities. Wipro has
adequate insurance coverage and is in touch with the insurance companies to assess the damage
and the claim will be subject to policy terms.
Outlook for the Quarter ending December 31, 2015
For the quarter ending December 31, 2015, the incident is expected to have a material impact on
the Revenues and will result in higher one-time cost incurred towards deployment of our business
continuity plan. Both these factors will impact our Operating Margins for the quarter. Revenues
from our IT Services business are expected to be in the previously communicated range of $
1,841 million to $ 1,878 million*; However, we expect revenues to be in the lower half of the
guidance range.
* Guidance is based on the following exchange rates: GBP/USD at 1.55, Euro/USD at 1.12,
AUD/USD at 0.72, USD/INR at 65.34 and USD/CAD at 1.33
